    what do you do with all the dash plaques when you have a very large pile?
    I have the magnetic stuck on my basement frig and a large pile(metal) on the pool table. What are they good for?:confused:

    Put mine on my rollaround toolbox, Probably lame but reminds me of good times, anywhere we go we have a large time!!
     
  3. I just laugh when I see a car at a show with dash plaques` all over them.It takes away from the clean look the guy was going for when he built the car. I have two in my sons shoebox,Mooneyes and Back to the Beach.There won't be any others,cause they were the first two shows I took my son to.I want him to remember those two days we spent together with his car.Put them on your toolbox or in your garage somewhere.
     
  4. You put them in the "Junk drawer" in your shop, and then once or twice a year when you are searching in the "junk drawer" for something else, they make excellent surgeons scalpels to gouge the tips of your fingers.

    I put them in a junk drawer, some on the garage floor, but when I die you can put them on casket for all I care.

    I attach them to magnets and stick em on my fridge. Usually I use the free calendar magnet thingy ones that seem to come from everywhere in January. You can also get magnets with tape on them at craft stores.

    some of them are lame, but some of them have cool art. There is a Mooneyes one in my Poncho, but that's it. The rest hold up my kids art on the fridge.

    Someone ought to use them to fill all the trim holes when shaving, nosing,decking or whatever on their rides.

    Or.....

    Collect enough to create your own panels for bodywork.

    Or...

    Wouldn't that be "cool" to have a T-bucket (lets say) with the body created completely from old dash plaques? :eek:
